Texas Structural Pest Control Service (TDA SPCS) licenses commercial pest control. Grapevine code compliance enforces nuisance rules for infestations, wood-destroying insects, and stagnant water.
Commercial structural pest control in Grapevine is regulated by the Texas Department of Agriculture Structural Pest Control Service under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1951 and 7 TAC Chapter 7. All commercial applicators must hold a TDA license; homeowners performing pest control on their own property are exempt. Wood-destroying insect (WDI) inspections at property sale require licensed inspectors following the Texas Official Wood Destroying Insect Report form. Grapevine Code Compliance enforces general nuisance rules against rodent harborage, stagnant water that breeds mosquitoes (including West Nile vector control), and wildlife attractant conditions. The city may condemn structures with severe infestation as public nuisances. Restricted-use pesticides require special licensing. Call Code Compliance at (817) 410-3388 for complaints or TDA SPCS at 1-866-918-4481 for licensing.
